Omschrijving
This bestseller has been out of print for a couple of years, but a second corrected and revised edition will appear early 2011. This very practical and informative manual gives an extensive overview and a description of all the maps that appeared in the famous first atlas by Abraham Ortelius, the Theatrum Orbis Terrarum of 1570. The book gives illustrated information on every map of the various editions that have appeared of Ortelius Atlas and provides valuable information on the dating and the origin of the maps. This revised edition contains corrections, extra information to date the charts more correctly, descriptions of the title page and a portrait of Ortelius.
